Nov 2021

I lost my husband, friend, lover and brother in arms in February.

I think we can agree with what Queen Elizabeth wrote about the passing of her beloved "Grief is the price we pay for love".

FWIW the grief will lessen and the loving memories will endure. They will be a comfort and you will be able smile again.

Also take comfort and support from everyone who loved him and you.

I'll second what you said about a will. People, please don't leave problems for those you'll leave behind.
